Urban Agglomerations are suffering from
- Ineffective Regulation of Land Use
- Unforeseen Migration
- Stress on Utility Resources
- Social Crime
- Poor Human Development Index
 590 million people will live in cities, nearly twice the
population of United States
 270 million people will be the net increase in working
age population
 70 % of net new employment will be generated in cities
 68 cities will have a population of 1 million plus each
 700 – 900 million square metres of commercial and
residential space needs to be built every yearGraph 1 – Urbanization and Population Forecast

Slums have grown in almost all major cities due to
the inability of major chunks of population to afford
accommodation in the planned areas of the city.
Expected Results: Avoiding the lag between the growth
of population and construction of houses. Active
monitoring of migration will help us to foster affordable
housing.
There is a huge and widening gap between demand
and supply of essential services and infrastructure.
the urbanites do not have access to safe drinking
water and sanitary facilities.
Expected Results: Essential Infrastructure
development will be taken into account well in
advance before the city expands due to availability of
real time data. It will help to exercise best possible
options within available resources.
Traffic congestion has assumed critical dimensions in
many metropolitan cities due to massive increase in
the number of personal vehicles, inadequate road
space and lack of public transport
Expected Results: Communication routes will ensure
smooth flow of traffic channelized by the well
designed junctions based on nature and volume of
traffic.

7. Empathetic Implementation: A pragmatic approach to Urban planning
involving increased interactive participation of all stakeholders
Research
Analysis
Modelling Implementation
Analyze the Land
Use pattern in existing
town
 Check for the
Investment Regions
and its Geographical
conditions
Integrate the Urban
Local Body as one of
the nodal agency in
Industrial
Development
 Set Guidelines for
Regulatory Framework
 Integrating the
Neighbourhood Plan
with Industrial
Development Plan
 Reporting the
Migrating Population
 Facilating Better
Utility services with
integrated data stats
amongst all
development
 Setting up a
department for data
and resource
collection
 Promoting PPP

Urban planning is about
‘values’ and decision-
making cannot be
relegated to technical
specialists or
representative thought
leaders. The need for
taking planning from a
closed Black box to a
more demystified
transparent forum is
urgent.
India Scores below poor
on four, and below
average in one in
following parameters,
that constitute a best
performing Urban Local
Government.

Designing Adaptable and sustainable mechanism for successful
implementation of Governance Model is an obligation

 Economic development
 Environmental quality
 Energy and other resource

 Aesthetics and historic

 Public Utility Services
 Health, Education and Welfare
 Public safety
 Leisure, Recreation and

 Tourism Development

10. Resistance to Implementation
Achieving
operational
integration of the
law would require
strong political
and
administrative
will.
The current
practices and
models of
planning for
infrastructure
need a major
overhaul.
